First V-Log + Weight Loss Plan for the Holidays

Posted: November 19, 2012

Eeeeeek!  As promised, I have my first v-log (video log) for you today.  I'm getting soooooooo technologically advanced.  I love how it feels a bit more personal hearing my voice than just reading the words I write.  Today's video is an intro to the whole video "thang", an explanation of the upcoming holiday baking I'm working on, a slight confession, and my weight-loss plan for the holidays. I had to make TWO videos because the entire first one had my head cut off...haha!  I already made my first cooking tutorial as well, which will go up later this week, on how to make the little mini pie-bites' crust.  I hope even if you're not traditionally an "online video" type person, you'll watch this one none-the-less!

Let me know what you think!

PS. Nice screen shot it decided to keep as the "thumbnail", eh?!? At least I gave myself a good laugh this morning :)

You're too cute! I busted out laughing when I saw you were missing half your head in the first video. Can't wait for all the new stuff coming up!

Cute video!!! :) Hope the baking went well! I'm sure it did. :)

I even surprised myself with how well it went... but note, I did not attempt to make any cookies. I will probably leave that entire genre/food group to YOU :)

Love the video, really cool to hear the voice that goes with so many words of wisdom, looking forward to all your future endeavors, made the cranberry relish for our T day and I reposted your Pumpkin pie bites on my key ingredient page and they have had over 2K views there is also a link back to your site so I hope it helps more people follow your blog, I know they won't be disappointed.

Are your counter tops really that clean all the time????

Submitted by kelly - November 30, 2012 - 3:38pm

Remember, this is temporary living for me. :) Most of my stuff is packed up in the garage. The counters have a coffee pot, toaster, and juicer on them... you just can't see them in the video.

Cutie pie!
I love your voice always. :) I'll be interested to see how cutting out dairy works for you. Not eating dairy certainly kept me from eating all of the ice cream I would have eaten in Colorado. :)
Daiya cheese is GREAT melted, but don't eat it raw. Ew!

Submitted by kelly - November 30, 2012 - 3:39pm

I bought the Daiya Havarti wedge recently, and like how it cooks up better than the shreds, I think. So far cutting dairy has been going GREAT!! I've also been eating lots more veggies... so I'm already back to my lowest weight. Now, to lose MORE :)

I think you did a great job! I know vlogging is tricky but some people are just NOT good at it and I get bored about 1 min in. However, you're a natural! Good luck with your weight loss goals. I'm honestly trying to lose a few pounds this month too. It's not ideal, but at least we can look good on NYE!

Thanks for the sweet comment/feedback. So far the no dairy thing and just being more thoughtful about what I'm eating is working great. I'm hoping to make some good progress before NYE!!
